Envoyage empowers travel advisors at Worldwide 2025

Envoyage brought together more than 400 travel professionals from five countries at its flagship global event, Worldwide recently in Sun City, South Africa, connecting them with industry partners and members from its five core markets: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the USA.

This year’s theme, “Beyond Every Journey”, emphasized the brand’s focus on enabling and empowering travel advisors and agencies within the Envoyage network to build future-fit businesses and explore opportunities for growth and transformation.

Worldwide is a celebration of endurance, entrepreneurialism, and engagement, and this event is quickly becoming one of the industry’s most anticipated forums for forward-thinking travel professionals, exclusively open to Envoyage members and partners.

Danielle Galloway, Global Managing Director of Luxury and Independent Brands at Flight Centre Travel Group, which includes Envoyage, set the tone with her keynote address, which compared the travel industry’s transformation to Africa’s Great Migration.

Galloway said: “Standing still is the greatest danger of all,” emphasizing the message encapsulated in the spirit of the conference, and capturing Envoyage’s brand promise to “unlock limitless possibilities for every journey”, empowering travel entrepreneurs to prosper amidst rapid change.

The figures are impressive: Envoyage’s network has skyrocketed from a mere AUD$30 million in sales in 2018 to an astonishing AUD$2.4 billion today, now encompassing over 3,500 members across five markets.

Worldwide 2025 has been lauded by Envoyage attendees for delivering business inspiration alongside practical, hands-on advice for travel professionals, with Envoyage member Sabine Bani noting that: “Worldwide 2025 in Sun City was the best yet! The combination of insightful, business-oriented speakers, an inspiring trade show, dazzling Envys, and, of course, the phenomenal destination made it an unforgettable experience. The energy was electric, and I walked away uplifted, with renewed vigour and real strategies to shape my business for the future. The inspiration and practical ideas, especially from the session on social media marketing, were simply invaluable.”

A defining theme of the event was the meteoric rise of the independent advisor, with Envoyage as the home of the travel entrepreneur at every stage of their journey.

Around the world, there has been a steady increase of travel advisors now opting for independence rather than traditional employment, and Envoyage is at the forefront of this transformation.

The network allows advisors to retain a significant portion of commissions while benefiting from world-class technology, industry partner relationships, robust business support and a uniquely global community, emphasizing the brand’s message that “being independent doesn’t mean being alone”.

As the travel industry continues to evolve, Envoyage remains true to its vision “to be the home and heart of the travel industry for the independent world”, championing a global community that rises together.

Galloway said: “We are deeply grateful to all the members and partners who attended Worldwide 2025. Not only do we love spending time with our community, their commitment and passion for their craft inspire us every day.”

And she continued: “Together, we are not just navigating change, we’re driving it forward. We are devoted to fostering an environment where our members are future-fit and thriving. The Worldwide theme, ‘Beyond Every Journey’ is a powerful call to our members to embrace innovation and leverage technology to fuel business growth. Every moment of Worldwide exemplified our collective goal to propel the travel industry towards a brighter, more innovative future, and we intend to carry that forward alongside our members around the world.”
